Hi Dwight – how I followed Laurence’s tip was: In Outline, select a branch/ folder of interest (my outline has 18 top-level folders)
Ctrl-R to zoom in on one F7 to Expand Entire Outline Ctrl-A to select all items At the top of the Task Notes page (Alt-F1) is a count of the number of selected items Regards Wol From: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com [mailto:mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dwight Sent: 18 December 2017 21:03 To: MyLifeOrganized <mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com> Subject: [MLO] Re: Counting the number of tasks in a branch, and deciding what to archive Hi, Laurence. Your solution is close to how I wanted to reply to Wallace's question, but I was having trouble. You say to "Select All in Outline View" - I can't find that, and that was my problem - I could not find any "select all" - could you maybe send a description of how to bring up this command, or a screen shot showing it? Thanks, -Dwight On Saturday, December 16, 2017 at 3:24:36 AM UTC-5, Laurence Glazier wrote: I archive every few days after receiving this warning when I was at around 8000 tasks. I preserve outline branches by making the root of the branch a project. If the appropriate parameter is set, it will not archive "open projects". I'm not exactly sure what Open Project means, maybe someone can clarify. In the Windows version of MLO, you can zoom in on a branch, do Select All in Outline View, and a count is shown of the number of tasks. I am still adding more tasks than I am archiving...
